1968. The steam powered veichle had made its mark in history. Now, the last British and American engines rusted in scrapyards. As of 11 August, 1968, the last steam lcomotive, which could be called the last of steam's race, was condemned. Steam power was no more!

Or was it? The power of change can turn tide quite suddenly. Around the time of the last steamers, the first generation diesels were being cut up, having lived nowhere near as long a the steamers.

Our story begins in a rather dark setting of Pannyff-y-Gruid (try saying it. I can't, and I made it up!) in the middle of Wales.

At the old, rusting steelworks, the sad remains of once pround steam engines dotted the old shed.

A diesel and a truck surveyed the area.

"Gotcha this time," mumbled a voice, as an electric tram, modified to run on diesel, forced a traction engine out of the shed. The engine could do nothing as it was forced into a scrap shed to meet it's horrible end.
